4(22) 1. Foreword Avant Tecno Oy would like to thank you for your purchase of this AVANT attachment. It has been designed and manufactured on the basis of years of product development and experience. By familiarising yourself with this manual and following the instructions, you ascertain your safety and ensure the reliable operation and long service life of the equipment.
2. Designed purpose of use The AVANT vacuum brush is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders shown in Table 1. The vacuum brush is intended for collecting of tree leaves or other light materials in parks, lawns, yards etc.
6(22) 3. Safety instructions for the vacuum brush Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly powerful, and improper or careless use may cause serious personal injury or property damage. Due to this, you should carefully familiarise yourself with the manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation.
22,5 MPa (225 bar) Maximum input of hydraulic energy: 80 l/min Suitable Avant loader: See Table 1 Recommended operating speed: 630-750: 2 pumps, ½ to full RPM (40-70 l/min) Contact your Avant representative for the availability and istallation of the options.

9(22) 5. Assembly of the vacuum brush The vacuum brush is ready for use as delivered. Mount the attachment, its hydraulic hoses, and electric harness according to the following instructions, and practise its use in a safe area. Read the following instructions for mounting, using and maintenance of the attachment before starting the equipment.
5.2. Connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic couplings The default connector for hydraulic couplings is the multiconnector system. If you want to change the type of the hydraulic couplings of the attachment or the loader, contact your Avant dealer or service point for instructions or installation services.
11(22) Connecting conventional quick couplings (alternative couplings for some loader models): Before connecting or disconnecting the standard quick couplings, the residual pressure must be released as shown above. If the pressure is not released, but the couplings are disconnected, reconnecting the fittings may be difficult.
12(22) 6. Instructions for use Check the attachment and the operating area before starting to work. Quick inspection of the vacuum brush prior use is part of ensuring safety and the best performance of the equipment. Practise the use of the attachment and its controls at an open and safe area.
13(22) 6.2. Use The vacuum brush is started by turning the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader to it’s locked position. The vacuum unit, brush and optional side brushes start at the same time. For the best performance, set the attachment floating system as described in chapter page. Practise the use of the equipment at a sufficiently open area, where are no obstacles.
14(22) Safety valve: The attachment is fitted with a safety valve, which is intended to stop the hydraulic flow when the attachment is lifted off from the ground. The valve will stop the rotating brush or brushes when lifting the broom or when the floating has been set too low.
15(22) 6.4. Adjusting the rotating speed of the brushes The vacuum brush is equipped with a valve for controlling the rotating speed of the brushes steplessly. The adjustment will affect all brushes the same way. Adjusting the rotating speed is necessary when operating on sandy or fragile surfaces.
16(22) 6.6. Emptying the collector box The collector box is emptied directly from the driver’s seat with the help of the electrically opening collector door. Open the door only when at the emptying site and empty the box by lifting and tilting it forward. During operation the collected trash is packed into a compact package, and in dry conditions it will be easy to empty without assisting it by hand.
Also, the condition of the brushes and hydraulic components must be monitored regularly. Spare parts are available from your nearest AVANT representative. Separate spare parts catalogue is also available. Please Contact your dealer if you have any additional questions, or if you need any maintenance services.
Finding any of these faults means that the hydraulic hose or component must be replaced. Spare parts are available from your nearest AVANT retailer or service point. Leave the repair work to professional service technicians, if you don’t have experience about hydraulic assemblies and how to perform the repairing safely.
If the rotor remains out of balance after cleaning, it has probably been damaged. A damaged rotor must be repaired or replaced to prevent damage to the hydraulic motor. In this case, please contact the AVANT service.
